How To Get Started

Step 1: Become A Volunteer

Volunteers help with everything from walking dogs, to socializing with cats and kittens, to doing laundry, to helping at special events. There is never a shortage of help needed and never a job too big or too small. We value our volunteers who donate their time, so please make sure Nevada Humane Society is the right fit for you.

Step 2: Volunteer Profile

If you are interested in volunteering for Nevada Humane Society, please fill out a volunteer profile. If you do not have access to the internet, you may pick up a volunteer application at our shelter and turn it in via fax, email, or in person.

NHS receives hundreds of profiles every month, and each profile is given individual attention. We work tirelessly to move each profile through the system as quickly as possible. If you have not heard from us within two weeks, please call right away. We look forward to working with you.

Step 3: Attend Orientation

Volunteers age 16 or older must attend a roughly one hour volunteer orientation prior to volunteering. Once your profile has been reviewed, you will receive directions for how to register for orientation. Orientations are held once a month. Once you’ve attended a volunteer orientation, you are ready to schedule volunteer hours. All scheduling may be done through the online volunteer system.

Nevada Humane Society Volunteers Save Lives!

The success of our Volunteer Program is not only measured by the dedication of time given by our remarkable volunteers, but by the selfless acts they contribute to make life better for homeless companion animals. Thank you for helping us care for Nevada’s pets, find them homes and save their lives.
